I'm Still Here. Yey!

Whoa. May 06 to June 09 IS a long time.

Well, I'm here in Dumaguete City. I finished processing my enrollment yesterday. I moved in to my dorm this morning. And I'm now in a net cafe with my dormmates. Wee. :]

Teka, magta-taglish na 'ko ha?

Nakakadrama rin pala ang feeling 'pag aalis ka sa hometown mo. Ewan ko nga. Naiiyak talaga ako nung nasa barge na kami papunta dito. Naisip ko kasi yung mga iniwan ko back home. Family ko, ang pinaka-close kong insan na si Sheng (siya talaga ayaw kong iwan, btw!), mga aso namin, classmates ko nung HS at elem, si Ajan, basta LAHAT!

Pero ano pa ba magagawa natin, di ba? Andito na 'ko eh. Deal with it na lang.

Masaya rin naman ako dito. Nakakatuwa dormies ko lalo na roomies ko. Hehe. At siguradong di ako maho-homesick kasi may roommate akong tiga-Zamboanga rin. Saka marami-rami rin akong kakilala na kababayan. Yehey! Mate-test na lang talaga dito ang independence ko at pagiging responsable. Other than that, I guess I'll do fine.

I'll try to update ulit next time. Hehe. Sensya na talaga kasi di na 'ko nakakapag-rounds. Huhu. Keep in touch na lang tayo kahit papano. Hehe.

Ingat kayo lahat and God bless! Love ya! Mwahmwah! ♥

Official Sillimanian.

I just got home from a three-day excursion with my parents. I'm tired, emotional, and even more tired and emotional by the minute. But it wasn't the trip's fault, though. I had lots of fun actually. It's just that... some things can't help but pop themselves in my head and these kinds of thoughts loosen up a couple of my emotional screws, if you know what I mean.

We spent the first two days at Dumaguete City. I'm officially enrolled at Silliman University and am going to take up BS Psychology. My prospectus spells F-U-N for the First Semester. Wee. :] I also got myself a space at the Edith Carson dorm. I had no choice but to get the six people-in-one room- no aircondition, no own toilet and bath. Apparently, all the other rooms and school dorms are reserved so I had to settle for this one. I'm not complaining, actually. I don't think I'm known for being maarte and I'm more than contented with what I got myself. And it's very sulit, if you ask me. Only PhP 4,000+ per sem for the room and about PhP 11,000 for the meals. Sulit. :]

After attending to my college needs, my parents and I visited Mama's relatives at Banilad. I was four years old when I last visited so it felt good to see somewhat familiar faces. LOL. The only ones I remembered well were Auntie Shirley and my dear cousin Charlotte. Ate Lot-Lot was the best! She was still as bubbly and warm as ever. And she told me that she'd be happy to be my Dumaguete sistah while I stay over. :]

We also went around town and checked out how Dumaguete has changed over the years. At around 8 PM, my dear friend Kuya King, who is taking up BSN at SU, snatched me away from my parents. LOL. Di naman. Sinundo niya 'ko to treat me at Jollibee. My parents probably thought of him as way harmless than their own daughter coz they allowed me to go. Shocker. Hehe. We chatted about college life and he pretty much gave me a good idea on what to expect come the first day. Natakot at na-excite lang naman ako. Hehe. :]

**Btw, I won't be telling you about the our whim-ish stay at Dapitan. Haba na eh. LOL.**

So there. I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready for the new world ahead of me. All I know is that I have exactly a month left before I venture in that world. Maybe in one month's time I'll be able to convince myself that going there is what God intended for me in the first place and that it is what will make important people in my life, including myself, happy. Argh. Can I be more emo now? :]

P.S. Anyone know someone who's attending/going to attend Silliman University? Let me know please! ♥

The Verdict Is In.

You read it right and I shit you not. *bow*

So..
  • I wasn't able to watch Grey's Anatomy last night. I looked forward to that episode pa naman. I wanted to cry over Izzie's crying. Guess it has to wait till this weekend. Hmpf.
  • JackTV and ETC are both out. Nooo. :[
  • My phone is busted. Again. I'm currently using my bro's pocket PC. It's cool, but not suited for my text-trained thumbs.
  • I'm trying to rid myself of insomnia. Making progress, I think. :]
  • My current read is Memoirs of a Geisha. I know, I know. I'm eons behind all you people. You don't have to yell at me. *sob sob*
  • My dad gave me a pack of Hello bars. It was the most he came up with yesterday.
  • I'm reminding myself of how I should get a haircut for college. I want my hair short again.
  • I bloghopped through all my links yesterday. Wee. :]

Ok, ok...

So I'm painfully delaying every second of revelation. But since my summer's not all that packed with stories to tell and I've run out of ideas to jot down, I guess I'm really going to reveal the "verdict" right about now.

zZzzZzzzZ...

*jerks awake*
Oh. Yeah. The verdict.

One word: Silliman.

Yes. I am so going to Dumaguete. Yey.

Somewhere in Between.

Katamaran. Ka-emo-han. Katamaran ulit. Yan yung mga dahilan kung bakit ngayon lang ako nakapag-post. Hehe.

Haaay. Feeling ko tuloy zombie ako lately. (Apir Bunso Zombie a.k.a Aldie Eustaquio! HAHA!) Nagpupuyat ako sa pagmukmok. Pagkagising ko, titingnan-tingnan ko lang ang paligid ko hoping na may extraordinary stuff na mangyari. Wala eh. Boring.

Natutunan ko na ring i-adopt yung kwarto as my home. As much as possible, di ako lalabas. Syempre pwera na lang kung maliligo ako, magsi-CR, kukuha ng pagkain, etc. At kasabay nun, di ko na rin kinakausap yung mga tao dito. Uh-huh. Piping zombie nga. At most ay mga tatlong five-word sentences lang ang nasasabi ko. Na-master ko na nga ata ang art ng facial expressions at head and hand gestures. Magaling na rin ako sa one-word games. Trust me.

Bakit nga ba ako nagkakaganito? *kunot-noo*

Hayun. Kagabi gumawa ako ng letter para sa parents ko. Wala lang. Sinabi ko lang dun lahat ng gusto kong sabihin. Eh kasi naman sila, ang gulo. Papalit-palit sila ng college plans para sa 'kin. Di ko na tuloy alam kung ano ba talaga gusto ko.

Sabi kasi nila na sa Ateneo de Zamboanga University na raw talaga ako. Ako naman, kahit ayaw, tinanggap na lang. After nga nun, naging OK na talaga ako sa fact na yun. Masaya na rin ako sa dinecide nila for me. Tapos... TAPOS! Hayun. Nung isang araw biglang kumatok si Mama para sabihin na sa Silliman University na raw aq. ANO RAW?! o_O

Dapat nga ako matuwa, di ba? Kasi ang first and most loved choice ko ay SU. Pero bakit ganun? Ngayon lang kasi nila sinabi. Ngayon pa na naintindihan at na-accept ko na lahat. Ngayon pa na naka-set na ang focus ko sa ADZU. Dapat nga ba ako matuwa sa sinabi nila? At isa pa, ayokong i-enroll nila ako dun dahil alam nilang dun ko gusto. Gusto ko kasi na gustuhin rin nila akong mapunta dun. Kung di rin lang talaga sila totally in favor sa pag-stay ko dun, wag na sana nila subukang mag-adjust para sa wants ko. Trabaho ko ang mag-adjust para sa situation, para sa kung ano'ng pwede at di pwede sa akin. Kaya ko naman eh. Naiintindihan ko naman lahat eh.

Sana lang rin naintindihan nila yung drama ko sa letter na yun. Iniwan ko na sa kanila ang decision between ADZU and SU. Kung piliin man nila ang ADZU, sana dahil yun yung convenient para sa amin. Kung piliin man nila ang SU, sana dahil yun yung tingin nila ay dine-deserve ko. Kahit saan naman, OK na sa 'kin. It's a win-win situation naman for me. Si God na lang talaga bahala. Wish me loads of luck na lang. :]

pictuuuuures!

I'm too lazy to really write stuff so I figured I'd post some of the pictures I promised eons ago. (Take note: some. I said I feel lazy, ok?) Hehe. At last! Pictures! ^__^ Still haven't found the digi cam's cord, though. Thank God for pocket PCs. :]


March 31, 2007. Graduation rites held at Summit Centre. Whoopee! ^___^

Clink and clank. I received some stuff. Not a total loser after all. LOL. (Look! Our principal - the woman in the printed blouse - wore that! *gasp* :|

Pledge of loyalty. We were actually laughing our asses off. Couldn't really hear the pledge so we made words up. ^___^

After poetry comes music. We sang Seasons Of Love (the OST of Rent) and That's What Friends Are For.

The newest graduate of the fam. Daddy, Kaka Min, ME!, Mama. :]

Now you see the toga, now you don't. (next pic)

Wee. Meet my dress, Helena. xx (The shoes killed my poor feet that night. *sniff*)


That night. Our Graduation Ball, for real! Look at the backdrop! Look! Haha.

Girl power. We're not exactly girly girls. Don't be fooled!

Cake 101. I had to make a wish before slicing up our batch cake. Hmm... guess it went something like "blah blah... not separate hearts".

Mama, Kaka, ME!, my cake, and... some random guy who got into our picture. Haha. :P

♥ Random Guy a.k.a Ajan made me really realize how short I am. Naka-stilettos na 'ko dyan ha. Hehe.

The party didn't end there. Before getting to the sayawan kuno part, the girls screamed Lindsay Lohan's "Ultimate". Thanks to Groove Street, by the way.


April 1, 2007. After the afterparty, we had an afterparty afterparty in Room 316. :]

Male & Female Stars of the Night. Haha. No one else seemed to want the award...

Love ya, b*tch. (Pardon the language, it doesn't mean anything anyway) Cyril the Gigolo and Mars the Wh*re. HAHA! We kid a lot. :]

We made a mess. Oops. (Nakapikit pa si Louie. Haha.)


When I got home...
I grabbed the bouquet Ajan gave me and clicked away. ;]

Ain't it pwetty? ♥


April 2, 2007.
We went to school coz our freshies had a surprise for us raw. Aba, those chikitings punk'd us pa. Haha. Sweetness. And the gift was a...

Scrapbook! Yeah! They made a scrapbook for us! ^___^




Hayun. We were all so happy. Hehe. Graduation was a blast! The best way to exit from a place we call AEMSHS. ^___^

Lame end, I know. I'm lazy nga eh! :P

The Couch Patatas.

Talagang mahal ko yung mga mokong sa taas. Scroll down to the bottom of this page at makikita niyo kung bakit ko nasabi yan. Heheh. Wala lang. Nagka-idea tuloy ako sa next format ng blog ko. Heheh. :]

Let's try to refresh things around here, shall we? Well, for a change, I'm not going to whine about how summer's killing me with boredom. Instead, I am going to tell you guys what's been keeping me alive so far. Heheh. :]

Mars the Couch Patatas is officially back in business, baby. So watching too much TV is not entirely healthy. But hey, if it keeps me sane and happy, then I don't care that much. Hahah. And I don't watch TV the whole day naman. I take time off to read, take a bath and blog. Hahah. Exciting life, eh? *rolls eyes*

My eyes started gluing itself to the TV screen at about the same time my ass started gluing itself to my seat. Loko lang. I think it started last Holy Week. Since my penitensya comprised of no Globe Unlitxt registration, no net-surfing, no laag and no life, I've resorted to making this layout and watching 7th Heaven marathons. It was great, actually. I kinda missed the Camdens. And from there, I've awaken my inner TV-holic.

Now that the 7th Heaven phase is once again over (sob sob), I kinda like to call myself an official STAR WORLD addict. I wake up at around eight in the morning, take a sip of the room temperature choco health drink that my parents prepare early on, get back inside the bedroom and lock the TV screen on Channel 37. (I didn't mention breakfast, did I? That's because I'm lazy and take my brunch at 2PM. LOL) I'm not saying that I like everything on Star World. But from a bored weird girl's point of view, it's starting to be the number one decent thing on TV.

My personal faves would have to be the Monday Night Laughs lineup, reruns of FRIENDS (Yep, still haven't moved on. Haha!), Grey's Anatomy, American Idol (I saw Sanjaya sing Besame Mucho a while back. It wasn't bad... but he sure still is weird), Fashion House, Hope & Faith, Criminal Minds, and PRISON BREAK. I know, I know... some of these shows are eons behind actual release. Who cares anyway? Certainly not me. :P

Cute Poison: Wentworth Miller is the reason why Star World rocks all the more. ♥

I'm guessing that being a couch potato will get me through the remaining idle days. That is, if I don't get to "level up" and find something more fun and productive to do. Until then, *girl VO* "you are watching Star World". ♥

P.S. I really love that song in the new Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone ad. Yeah, the anniversary one. Sino me alam nun?
